Talk:Comfy Chair (3.5e Equipment)

From D&D Wiki

Yea, anything that makes you feel like you've gone thru a 8hr rest counts for all spell-casters. Why do you think most of them get Rings of Sustiance? This item wins, btw. I may have to integrate it into my game somehow ^_^ Flession 12:47, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

How much are these "Rings of Sustiance"? This is only 3,000gp and looking at the price and what it grants I think it may be overpowered. --Green Dragon 16:32, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

Actually, it isn't really. I don't have my book in front of me, but it's about 3000-4000 gold for it. What it does is that it only makes you get a full 8 hrs of sleep for only 2. It also no longer makes it necessary for you to eat or drink. By far, it's the best damn investment a player can make. The only catch is that you need to have it equipped for a week. What this chair does is knocks it down a hr, but it comes at the price that you may not wanna get up if the dice do not favor you. For the price you pay for it, it's not a bad deal. I'd increase the gold a extra 500-1000 at the most, if you felt that it needed it, but there are enough disadvantages that a low-level person would be greatly affected by it. -- Flession 17:25, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

Oh, it is balanced if the "Ring of Sustiance" is only 3000-4000gp. I thought the "Ring of Sustiance" would be much much more. Sorry for any confusion, I just thought that the "Ring of Sustiance" would cost more. --Green Dragon 18:00, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

And at higher levels, I just get grab a Type III Bag of holding and carry it around ^___^ --Flession 20:02, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

Sorry for the long absence - work,school, and new baby conspiring against me :} Yes, part of the inspiration for this was the Ring of Sustenance, but mostly from a friends large comfy chair that I would always fall asleep in. --Calidore Chase 10:22, 17 July 2007 (MDT)

I think there is some clarification that needs to be made. An item that allows less rest to count for more, like this, in no way reduces the amount of time necessary for an arcane spellcaster to rest before regaining spells. It just gives them more free time to sit around, "[not engaging] in strenuous activity, such as walking or combat." Take the elf as an example; naturally, elves need only trance for 4 hours per day (for the equivalent of 8hrs of sleep), and yet an elven wizard or sorcerer still must sit around for that extra time and not do anything strenuous. During the awake time, the old rule for every interruption, and extra hour of rest is needed still applies. Thus, items like this are not any more useful for spellcasters than for other characters.

I point you here. See, especially, the last sentence. —EldritchNumen 20:03, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

Heh...yea, you're right. I might have gotten the cleric and the wizzy mixed together into something more awesome. My bad ^_^ --Flession 20:13, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

:) No problem. Just wanted to make sure everyone knows... —EldritchNumen 20:18, 12 April 2007 (MDT)

I figured there would be a clause like that somewhere. Thanks for pointing to it though :-). --Aarnott 07:04, 13 April 2007 (MDT)

That's right. There is no decrease in the time needed to replenish spell casters. --Calidore Chase 10:22, 17 July 2007 (MDT)
